Types of Echinacea Sun Perennials

Echinacea perennials, alternatively called coneflowers, are some of the most well-known plants of the North American prairie. Known best for their unique shape and prominent flower centers, echinacea perennials are hardy plants, making them a great choice for beginning gardeners. Even better, they come in a wide range of colors to suit any taste!

Garden Goods offers several types of echinacea in a range of colors. For a pink cultivar, choose either the Solar Flare or the Pow Wow Wild Berry. If purple is more your color, the Kim’s Knee High or Purple Coneflower may be a better bet. For a yellow variety, there’s also the Harvest Moon. Finally, for that classic white, the Pow Wow White is a great mainstay.

Why Plant Echinacea Sun Perennials?

Echinacea are extremely easy to grow, making them ideal for beginning gardeners just starting out in the hobby. Drought and heat tolerant, echinacea sun perennials are very forgiving for the beginning gardener, even tolerating average or poor soils with relative ease. With minimal care, echinacea perennials can have beautiful displays of colorful flowers with coned centers from late June to the first frost.

On top of these benefits, echinacea plants can be great for your local ecosystem, providing nourishment for birds once they are done for the season. They even attract pollinators through the summer, making for beautiful living displays of butterflies and other pollinators.

Tips for Choosing the Right Variety of Echinacea Sun Perennials

Before picking any plant for your garden, first consider your climate. Many plants are suited to specific regions, and may not fit your local area very well. Fortunately, most echinacea perennials will grow well just about anywhere. Most echinacea plants thrive in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 9.

Beyond this climate consideration, you’re free to choose the echinacea plant you want. Just keep in mind that you should plant them in a location with good sun and some protection from the wind.

How to Care for Echinacea Sun Perennials

Echinacea care begins with how to plant echinacea sun perennials. These plants are best placed in locations with full sun to get the best blooms. It’s also best to place them in an area with some winter wind protection to keep them alive through the first year. We do recommend fertilizing the soil before planting to support root growth, and it’s best to water your plant thoroughly on a regular basis until it’s fully established.

Once established, echinacea sun perennial care is quite simple. Coneflowers are drought-tolerant, so they’ll withstand longer periods without water, but be sure to water them during drought periods to keep them healthy. Beyond this, deadhead your coneflowers to keep them blooming throughout the summer.
